The intention of this work is to provide a deeper understanding of the engineering geological behaviour of granite saprolite and how this affects the engineering of such material, with specific reference to the construction ...

The mid-Proterozoic Borgmassivet intrusions of western Dronning Maud Land
intrude Archaean granites and a volcano-sedimentary sequence, the Ritscherflya
Supergroup. They are SiO2-rich ultramafic to mafic tholeiitic rocks ...

The primary objective of this study was to establish sedimentary models for
peat formation in the southern part of the Klip River coalfield during Ecca
(Permian) times and to assess palaeoenvironmental controls on coal ...

This geostrophic current-controlled Zululand/Natal shelf displays a unique assemblage of interesting
physical, sedimentological and biological phenomena. The shelf in this area is extremely narrow
compared to the global ...

The eastern portion of the Namaqua-Natal Mobile Belt, the Natal Metamorphic Province is divided into four main
tectonostratigraphic units. These units comprise two accreted island arcs: the Mzumbe and Margate Terranes; ...

Heavy mineral deposits along the east coast of South Africa represent the world's largest
demonstrated resource of beach placer ilmenite. This mineral occurs as homogeneous,
subrounded grains, with chemical compositions ...

This thesis examines the geological history of western central Mocambique, with a particular emphasis on the enigmatic relationships between the Umkondo Group and the Frontier Formation. In the region the geological units ...

This thesis focuses on aspects of the tectonic history, sediment delivery and subsequent
sediment redistribution within the Natal Valley and Mozambique Basin of the southwest
Indian Ocean. It aims to 1) better constrain ...

The mapped area, measuring about 400m2, is situated along the southern margin of the
Archaean Kaapvaal Craton south of Melmoth in KwaZulu-Natal and comprises greenstones
and metasediments forming a narrow, linear E-W ...
